Love how the poem builds from the literal to turn to the metaphor, and how it avoids over explaining itself

This is such a strong poem in such a short amount of words. The metaphor is beautiful!

I love brevity.

This poem exemplifies its mastery.

In just a few stanzas Cole Pragides takes us on a scenic ride, makes a sharp turn and arrives at an ideal destination.
